During a bankruptcy court hearing, Jon Rahm's lawyer revealed that the golfer will not participate in LIV Golf 2.0 due to terms deemed "unacceptable," despite being owed over $300 million from his contract with LIV Golf. The league is attempting to restructure after losing funding from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund at the end of 2026, proposing a smaller league for 2027. Rahm and LIV are currently in discussions to finalize their separation agreement by October 15th, though details about the specific issues with LIV's terms remain undisclosed.

Story summary
Spanish golfer Jon Rahm's lawyer told a U.S. Bankruptcy Court hearing that Rahm is leaving LIV Golf because he finds the terms for LIV 2.0 "unacceptable." Rahm, who was one of the most high-profile signings when he joined LIV Golf in December 2023 under a reported £222m ($300m) deal, has independently reviewed and rejected new proposed terms. The league filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after Saudi Arabia withdrew its multibillion-dollar funding last September but secured $300m from BC Partners Credit to continue operations into the 2027 season. Rahm's lawyer stated that his client is owed over $300 million and hopes to finalize a consensual separation agreement by October 15, with a court hearing scheduled for November 5 to address any unresolved issues.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
